We are accelerating research on the developing brain.

Objective diagnostic tests that would provide the basis for far more precise, individualized treatments for mental health and learning disorders

OUR SOLUTION

Embarking on innovative brain research

Taking a multidisciplinary approach

Sharing our data with researchers worldwide

From our opening in 2009 through May 2017, we have:

Collected clinical and imaging data on more than 1,000 children and adolescents, enriching our foundational data repository, and prepared the data for release to the scientific community

Recruited leading scientists with multidisciplinary backgrounds from around the world to focus their research on the advancement of child and adolescent psychiatry through our Endeavor Scientists Program

In 2016, we:

Welcomed Arno Klein, PhD, Director of Innovative Technologies, to the Child Mind Institute to develop a program for wearable sensors that collect data to be used both in research and in the development of new treatments

Honored Tom Insel, MD, former Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, as a Distinguished Scientist at our annual scientific symposium, On the Shoulders of Giants

“Our momentum in pursuing our mission is powered by the generosity of our supporters and motivated by the promise of a brighter tomorrow for the children and families we serve.”

A Message from the Child Mind Institute

Our children are our most precious resource. Helping them become successful, happy adults is the Child Mind Institute's goal.

Mental health and learning disorders — which affect 1 in 5 children in the United States — can stand in the way. These disorders are real and common, but they are also treatable. Unfortunately, more than half of these children do not receive the support they need to reach their full potential.

At the Child Mind Institute, we are tackling this issue with the rigor and urgency it requires. We work each day to provide the best possible care to every child who walks through our doors. In the more than 7 years since we opened our doors — fall 2009 through May 2017 — we’ve treated 6,800 patients from 38 nations, 45 states and the District of Columbia, and have awarded more than $4 million in financial aid. We also provide dependable, up-to-date information and resources to help families and communities both within the United States and around the world. We are advancing research on the developing brain and sharing it freely, resulting in more than 1,000 articles published to date using our data. This commitment to “open science” will lead to a new understanding of mental health disorders and new possibilities for treatment, and lay the groundwork for discoveries that will help children in the future.

Our donors are the driving force behind our progress, enabling us to make a real difference in the lives of children affected by mental health and learning disorders.

ALEX AND ANI

Since 2014, ALEX AND ANI has been an invaluable partner to the Child Mind Institute, helping raise critical awareness and funds to support children’s mental health through the promotion and sales of the Little Brown Bear bangle. In FY16, we were proud to honor the dedication of ALEX AND ANI to our cause at our Change Maker Awards, during which Founder, CEO, and Chief Creative Officer Carolyn Rafaelian graciously accepted the award. Being one of our most generous corporate partners, ALEX AND ANI donated nearly $100,000 that year.

Allison and Dan Rose

Allison and Dan Rose of Palo Alto, CA, have become enthusiastic supporters and ambassadors of the Child Mind Institute. In FY16, they made a generous gift of $50,000 and remain essential partners in helping us expand our reach to new communities on the West Coast and in the digital space. In his role at Facebook, Dan has been instrumental in helping us grow our online presence and reach new parents and communities globally. As a leader of our inaugural fall luncheon in Palo Alto in September 2016, Allison helped us raise more than $150,000 and fill the room with more than 160 engaged parents and new friends.

Sharon White

“The Child Mind Institute has been a great resource for my family. I have a son with ADHD and it’s been bumpy some years. Often I would receive an article relating to an issue we are facing, and they were a great help at the right time. Thank you for all your work advocating for children’s mental health.” — Sharon White, first-time donor from Arlington, VA

*These donors are supporters of the Child Mind Institute's Healthy Brain Network, an unprecedented research initiative to collect imaging and clinical data from 10,000 young people and share it with the global scientific community to accelerate discovery into the developing brain and find biological measures of mental illness. Represents gifts made in fiscal year 2016 (October 1, 2015-September 30, 2016)
